Did you know that according to our friends over at Nationwide Insurance 50M people spend $12 billion tailgating each year? Ever wonder how it started? What cities tailgate the most? In the midst of football season, we invite you to use this infographic which highlights the history of tailgating, statistics and tips:
· In the 1900’s families would walk to baseball games after church on Sunday. Tailgating was born out of the communal hours between the service and the opening pitch
· The five best tailgating cities are: Baltimore, Denver, Houston, San Diego and Cincinatti
· 2 out of every 5 tailgaters: Spend over $500 per season on food and supplies; tailgate 6-10 times per season and start tailgating more than 5 hours before kick-off.
